What is Professional Dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning is a precise exfoliation treatment using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells and vellus hair (peach fuzz). This medical-grade technique requires the skilled hand of a trained aesthetician and cannot be replicated with at-home tools. Unlike harsh scrubs or chemical exfoliants, dermaplaning provides immediate results with zero downtime. The treatment reveals fresh, luminous skin underneath while creating the perfect canvas for skincare products and makeup application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common dermaplaning questions from our expert team.

Does dermaplaning hurt?

Most clients find dermaplaning completely painless. You may feel a light scratching sensation as the scalpel glides over your skin, but there should be no discomfort. The treatment is often described as relaxing.

Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?

No, this is a common myth. Vellus hair (peach fuzz) grows back exactly the same as before treatment. The hair may feel slightly coarser initially because it's been cut with a straight edge, but it returns to normal as it grows.

How often should I get dermaplaning treatments?

We recommend dermaplaning every 4-6 weeks, which aligns with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle. This timing allows for optimal results while maintaining healthy skin renewal.

Is there any downtime after treatment?

There's no downtime with dermaplaning. You may experience very mild redness immediately after treatment, but this typically subsides within an hour. You can return to normal activities right away.

Who should avoid dermaplaning?

Dermaplaning isn't recommended for those with active acne breakouts, inflamed skin, or certain skin conditions. We'll assess your skin during consultation to ensure this treatment is right for you.

Can I combine dermaplaning with other treatments?

Yes, dermaplaning works excellently with chemical peels, facials, and other skin treatments. The removal of dead skin allows for better product penetration and enhanced results from complementary treatments.
